Like a roarin’ postcard from the fifties – that’s the sound of the HELLABAMA HONKY TONKS. Three voices, an overdriven sixstring, a big bad black doghouse bass and a pumping and swinging set of drums – that’ s what is called High Octane Hillbilly Rock’n Roll at its best, a patchwork of rough Rockabilly, fast Country and a little bit of Swing performed by Goldi Grasshopper, Crazyeye and Mr. Madsn. So put your cat clothes on, you rockin’ cats and enjoy the HELLABAMA HONKY TONKS!

Die HELLABAMA HONKY TONKS – High Octane Hillbilly Rock’n Roll at its best! Der Boss eines berühmten Rockabilly Labels sagte über den Sound von Goldi Grasshopper, Crazyeye und Mr. Madsn: Irgendwie erinnert das, was die Jungs mit der Gitarre, dem Kontrabass und den Drums da zaubern, an einen schweren V8 Motor - mal schnell, mal dreckig, mal laut – aber immer mit viel Gefühl für Rhythmus und Melodie. Rock’n Roll von den HELLABAMA HONKY TONKS, das ist ein Mix aus rauem Rockabilly, schnellem Country und einem Schuss Swing, der das Adrenalin dahin treibt, wo es hingehört. So wie es bei gutem Rock’n Roll sein soll. Der Sound der HELLABAMA HONKY TONKS – High Octane Hillbilly Rock’n Roll!
Гітара -- Ukrainian for Guitar. I figured that since I'm making an everyday familiar object look so foreign to the visual senses that I needed a foreign language to describe the set too.

Inspired by the album cover artwork for the 1985 'Brothers In Arms' album by Dire Straits. The photographer of the original image was Deborah Feingold.
The guitar belongs to my father. It is an Eko semi-acoustic guitar, made in Italy, around 1970.
The mother of all electrical guitars. There's nothing sounding quite like an American Telecaster. If you're playing the guitar, you need one.

One of my main guitars (along with the Blade and the Surfcaster).
The Danelectro Shorthorn line of guitars are a dual cutaway hollow bodied design, made of Masonite (that's the same stuff like the back of your kitchen cabinet...) and poplar. The original models were introduced in 1959 to replace the U model guitars, and were in production until the closure of the Danelectro company in 1969.
A really cheap but "interesting" sounding guitar. A great sounding guitar if you're willing to "fight" for your tone...! Try it through a high gain amp!
Year 5 of 365: Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Happiness. In my pursuit of happiness, today I completed my 78th lifetime dream today: Learning to play Eric Johnson’s “Trademark” from his Ah Via Musicom album. I have a lot of memories with this song. I’ve tried to master it for years and have come close, but never quite made it through the solo and to the end. When I made it to the end today… I couldn’t believe it, so I played it over and over and over- nailing it each time. I was taken aback and I just had to capture the moment.
I remember when I was dating a girl in college and this song was getting a lot of air play (Eric’s an Austin native so Austin plays him a lot). I always told her I would learn this song, and even to this day I am reminded of her. When I was going through some really hard times I took my guitar, amp, and this CD and disappeared for a few weeks. I worked when I had to work, and when I didn’t I would play this song over and over- learning one note at a time.
This is a great way for me to start off the New Year- not just completing a lifetime dream very early on, but completing something that I have been chasing down for years. I didn’t practice it every day by any means- in fact I had several years where I didn’t even practice this song… but it was always in the back of my mind. I felt such a sense of accomplishment- more because I completed something years in the chasing, but also because Eric Johnson is a guitar virtuoso, and he is insanely talented.
I wanted to document one of my projects I have been recently working on with the first guitar I could afford to buy myself back in 1987. It is a Squier Stratocaster guitar by Fender ... a 'cheaper' guitar that I was able to purchase new when I started college in Sudbury, Ontario.
I've owned several guitars since (many worth a lot more than this initial one) & have a bit of a collection going ... some have been traded away while others have been outright sold. The only consistent guitar in my repertoire has been this first, cheap-mans guitar that I fell for years ago and could never part with.
This year I decided to give it some 'TLC' ... had it re-fretted, I did some re-wiring & changed out the electronics for some punchier 'Dimarzio Area' pick-ups, changed the pick-guard pattern by simply cutting up one of those 'gel-skin' type covers normally reserved for protecting laptops etc. and added some antique cream pick-up covers & knobs; it now holds its own in sound & feel to any of the other guitars I've ever played. I thought the type-writer theme was suiting considering typing class was part of the curriculum in college ... albeit we had the fancier electronic typewriters at that time !? :)
Cheers!
